I found out from the manual that I have an on-board graphics chip. Can this cause the slowness I have been experiencing?
Is there a program that allows me to interrogate this board and see what the PCI address of the on-board graphics chip is; and whether this on-board graphics chip is on or off? The last time I ran 'X -configure' , I got a error in the xorg logfile: "no screens found" I recall having this problem in the past. It had something to do with /etc/wsconf.conf. Does the nouveau driver support 1660 chipset yet?
